Changeable weather, lovely to be out of London and on the river.
LDOs were coming off from mid morning but we didn't find any rising fish.
8 WBT landed between the two of us, biggest 19".

High water but caught one and lost another, on this beautiful beat!

Conditions looked good and I caught a nice 2lb trout after a few mins on a black woolly bigger. Got harder after that! Few knocks on the same woolly bugger, and tried nymphing the pockets, but nothing else to the net all day. Saw a handful of LDOs in the air and witnessed one splashy rise, otherwise very quiet indeed.

A beautiful varied beat. Only fished lower sections. A very small LDO hatch around 2 got into what felt like a decent fish but lost it in a downstream run.

Hares ear nymph.

A lovely sunny day on this most scenic of beats. 0.52 on Trallong gauge, the river with a slight tinge of colour. A few mayfly came off but no rises seen. Only one enquiry on a nymph. Tough going. Saw a salmon roll above downstream waterfall. A kingfisher busy catching some of the abundant fry in margins.

Nice weather, if a little cool - it's not many days since the water was too warm to fish. Two trout (about ½lb and ¾lb) caught on downstream nymph, and returned. A bigger one hooked for a few seconds. A typical grand finale for the last day's fishing of the season (for me). Or maybe just an ordinary finale. My back aches, my foot is wet and it's a 1½hour drive home - but I know in a few days time I'll want to do it all again. Is it the river, the fish, or the second breakfast at Three Cocks on the way over? Probably all three. Roll on next season!
